Interesting Facts & Summary
In the near-century history of the Oscars, only three films have reached the pinnacle of 11 Academy Awards: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003), Titanic (1997), and Ben-Hur (1959).
- The Perfect Sweep: Unlike its two peers, The Return of the King achieved a 100% win rate, converting all 11 of its nominations into wins. It remains the only film in Oscar history to pull off a 'clean sweep' with such a high number of nominations, marking an unprecedented level of Academy recognition for the fantasy genre.
- Data Comparison: While Titanic also holds 11 wins, it did so from 14 nominations, and Ben-Hur from 12. This makes Peter Jackson’s finale the undisputed statistical champion, holding the highest 'conversion rate' among the all-time greats.
